Pinnacle Arkose 3 2018 specification

Looking suspiciously similar to my 2019 Cannondale Topstone 105, here’s Mark’s Pinnacle Arkose 3.
Except Pinnacle – and Mark – got there first as this is the 2018 model and as you can tell from the specs, they are pretty much spot on with the Topstone. It shows the Arkose models are always worth checking out for decent bikes and value for money.

I Have this very same model for 3 years now. I have used it for the main part on gravel and dirt. The freehub gave up on me pretty quickly. Replaced a lot of parts in time (which is normal ). I Love the bike, there is something about it 🙂 .
Love the handle bars. I installed a di2 front and rear derraileur which makes it an even more fun bike. I ride it a lot. Love the fact that you can ride 700cx45 (and maybe even 50) . Pretty stable and durable
